Tips for Making a Great Storytelling Powtoon Video

To ensure your Powtoon animated video is a success, keep in mind these tips and tricks while you’re creating your video.

1. Stay true to yourself, your story and your brand. What is the overall tone of who you are and your brand? Are you fresh and fun, serious, and thought-provoking, or edgy and provocative? The animated elements you use should evoke the same vibe so your final video will be consistent with your brand.
2. Stay true to your message. What is the purpose of your animated video? Is it to onboard new employees? Pitch a product to a potential customer? Explain complicated concepts to a classroom of remote-learning students. Choose animations that will enhance your message; they can add entertainment value but should still have a message-driven purpose within the context of your animated video.
3. Customise animation for your audience. When it comes to engaging your audience, personalization is key. You want to choose characters that your viewers can relate to mentally, physically, emotionally, culturally, and beyond. Customise your own diverse characters to empower your audience and embrace inclusion.
